2.3 Cyber SecurityMost operating activities such as monitoring and control of systems can be done locally by the PV system operator orservice personnel without the need for data communication via public Internet infrastructure. These operating activities,including data communication between PV system operator/service personnel and data logger, inverter or additionalequipment, can be accessed by using local displays, keypads or using local access of the webserver of a device in theLAN of the PV system or of the building.In other use cases of systems, the PV systems are also part of the global communication system, which is based onInternet infrastructures.The data communication via Internet is an up-to-date, economically viable and customer-friendly approach in order toenable easy access for the following modern applications such as:

• Cloud platforms (e.g. Sunny Portal)• Smartphones or other mobile devices (iOS or Android apps)• SCADA systems, which are remotely connected• Utility interfaces for grid management services

Alternatively, selected and secured communication interfaces may be used. These solutions are no longer state of theart and are very expensive to use (special communication interfaces, separate wide area networks and more).When using the Internet infrastructure, the systems connected to the Internet are entering a basically unsecure area.Potential attackers constantly seek vulnerable systems. Usually, they are criminally motivated, have a terroristbackground or aim to disrupt business operations. Without taking any measures to protect systems and other systemsfrom such misuse, a data communication system should not be connected to the Internet.You can find the current recommendations by SMA Solar Technology AG on the topic of Cyber Security in theTechnical Information "PUBLIC CYBER SECURITY - Guidelines for a Secure PV System Communication" at www.SMA-Solar.com.

2.4 Personal Protective EquipmentAlways wear suitable protective equipmentWhen working on the product, always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment for the specific job.

The following personal protective equipment is regarded to be the minimum requirement: In a dry environment, safety shoes of category S3 with perforation-proof soles and steel toe caps During precipitation or on moist ground, safety boots of category S5 with perforation-proof soles and steel toe

caps Tight-fitting work clothes made of 100% cotton Suitable work pants Individually fitted hearing protection Safety gloves

Any other prescribed protective equipment must also be used.

5.4 Remedial Action in Case of Disturbances

5.4.1 Inverter Behavior in Case of DisturbancesIf a disturbance occurs during operation, this may be caused by a warning or an error.There are two levels assigned to each disturbance which influence the display and system behavior. Only in the caseof certain disturbances will the inverter behavior differ depending on the level. The level is increased from 1 to 2 if thedisturbance occurs five times within two hours or without interruption for two hours.Inverter behavior in the disturbance levels 1 and 2:

• Waiting timeThe inverter switches to the operating state "Disturbance" and opens the AC contactor and DC switchgear. Theinverter does not feed into the grid for the defined waiting time.The waiting time specifies how long the disturbance will be shown on the touch display and saved as adisturbance. Once the waiting time has elapsed, the disturbance is no longer shown on the touch display. Theinverter then checks whether the cause of the disturbance has been rectified.If the cause of the disturbance still exists after the waiting time has expired or the disturbance has beenacknowledged, the inverter remains in the operating state "Disturbance."

• Waiting for acknowledgementThe inverter switches to the operating state "Disturbance" and opens the AC contactor and DC switchgear. Theinverter does not feed in until the disturbance is acknowledged.The cause of the disturbance must be detected on-site. To this end, read off the fault memory and event messagesof the inverter and note down the error numbers.The cause of the disturbance must be remedied. You will find the corrective measures on the following pages. Forfurther information, contact us (see Section 9, page 68).It must be ensured that the inverter and its components are in a proper and safe condition. For this purpose, avisual inspection should be carried out with special attention to discolorations, contaminations and signs of wear.The disturbance may be acknowledged only after the elimination of all causes and the completion of the visualinspection.Once the disturbance has been acknowledged, it is no longer shown on the touch display. The inverter thenchecks whether the cause of the disturbance has been rectified.If the disturbance is no longer pending, it is deleted from the memory. If the cause of the disturbance still existsafter the disturbance has been acknowledged, the inverter remains in the operating state "Disturbance."



• Day changeThe inverter switches to the operating state "Disturbance" and opens the AC contactor and DC switchgear. Theinverter does not feed in.The disturbance is automatically reset when the day changes. Once the disturbance has been reset, it is no longershown on the touch display. The inverter then checks whether the cause of the disturbance has been rectified.If the disturbance is no longer pending, it is deleted from the memory. If the cause of the disturbance still existsafter the day has changed or the disturbance has been acknowledged, the inverter remains in the operating state"Disturbance".

• System-specificThe inverter switches to the operating state "Disturbance" and opens the AC contactor and DC switchgear. Theinverter does not feed in. How long the inverter remains in this state depends on the system-specific influencingfactors.Once the time has elapsed, the disturbance is no longer shown on the touch display. The inverter then checkswhether the cause of the disturbance has been rectified. If the disturbance is no longer pending, it is deleted fromthe memory. If the cause of the disturbance still exists after the disturbance has been acknowledged, the inverterremains in the operating state "Disturbance."

• WarningA warning does not affect inverter behavior. The cause of the warning must be determined and remedied.

In the operating state "Disturbance", the touch display shows a warning symbol, error number, waiting time, errormessage and the required measure to eliminate the disturbance message.Once the cause of the disturbance has been rectified and the disturbance is no longer displayed, it is deleted from thefault memory. To view previous disturbances after they have been deleted from the fault memory, an event report isfiled on the SD memory card. The event report logs the time and type of disturbance. The event report can also bedisplayed on the user interface.Depending on the type of disturbance, a reset may be performed. When this happens, the relays are checked and thesupply voltage of the control system is switched off. This process takes less than one minute. While the control system isbooting, the regular waiting times for grid monitoring are complied with.

5.4.3 Error Numbers 01xx to 13xx - Disturbance on the Utility GridAfter a grid failure, the inverter monitors the utility grid for a specific period before reconnecting. When the invertermonitors the utility grid after a grid error, the grid monitoring time is complied with. Certain errors, such as grid errors,cause the inverter to shut down. In this case, the instantaneous value TmsRmg indicates the time for which the invertermonitors the utility grid before reconnecting. This grid monitoring time can be defined in parameter GdErrTm.
